Carex seorsa |

|
|
Moist alpine meadows and snowmelt basins. 2200–3100 m. BW. CA, ID, NV, WA; north to AK, east to CO; Asia. Native. Carex micropoda is a cespitose, narrow-leaved, single-spiked sedge of high elevations. With age, its perigynia spread and may even point downwards. Inflorescences of C. nigricans are very similar, but C. nigricans is rhizomatous, and its leaves are flatter and wider. Carex micropoda is sometimes considered conspecific with European C. pyrenaica. |
